It's probable that Mugabe lost, but now he's resorting to his old dictatorial crap and accusations. My girlfriend's roommate was an election monitor there, and he's had to leave the country because Mugabe won't renew American visas. He was in South Africa, waiting for something to happen so he could go back for the run-off elections, but is now in Sudan visiting his girlfriend, who is working on some stuff in the South of that country.

In fact this kind of reminds me of the fall of Ferdinand Marcos, in a way.

I'm happy to see the opposition try to go through official channels (the country's Supreme Court, though Zanu-PF run) to legitimize themselves, and not to resort to violence. What happened in Kenya was pretty scary, and a repeat is, hopefully, being avoided. Lessons learned.
